“The adjusted OR for LBW was 0.74 (95% CI, 0.33–1.66) among infants of stove users compared with open-fire users.”

Impact of Reduced Maternal Exposures to Wood Smoke from an Introduced Chimney Stove on Newborn Birth Weight in Rural Guatemala (2011). Environmental health perspectives. Page 1. CKB 6737

Structure

Source: Wood
Outcome: Low birth weight
Intervention: Improved cookstoves
Population: pregnant women and their newborns
Setting: home, GT
Study design: analysis inside RESPIRE, a randomised trial in rural Guatemala: pregnant women were given a chimney stove or kept an open fire, with 48-hour personal carbon monoxide measured in pregnancy and newborn birth weight measured within 48 hours of birth, adjusted for maternal height, gravidity, blood pressure and season (class 3)
Effect: OR 0.74 (0.33–1.66)
Flags: ci-includes-1
Caveat: not significant, but the authors read the direction as consistent with earlier studies
